　　A

　　In summer, people around the world seek rest and relaxation on a beach. To meet the need, Trip Advisor publishes a list of the world's best beaches.

　　Baia do Sancho, Brazil

　　Its water is calm and clear. Its sand is fine and soft. But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy. It is on Fernando de Noronha, a volcanic island more than 300 kilometers off Brazil's coast. Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there. Getting there involves walking along steep, rocky cliffs and then climbing down a ladder.

　　Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos

　　While Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to, Trip Advisor's second­ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach. Travelers to the islands often choose to stay at oceanfront hotels right next to Grace Bay. This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand. Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming.

　　Eagle Beach, Aruba

　　To get to the third­best beach, head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba. Eagle Beach has clear, calm waters and soft white sand. It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports. Eagle Beach may be best known, however, for its dramatic sunsets. On clear nights, the sky turns red, orange, and purple.

　　Playa Paraiso, Cuba

　　Trip Advisor's fourth­best beach is also in the Caribbean. Playa Paraiso is on Cayo Largo, an island off Cuba's southern coast. Paraiso has a fun, laid­back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink. There is little else on the beach. People come here for the sugar­like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.

　　Siesta Key, United States

　　Florida's Siesta Key is a low­lying island. The scientist known as Dr. Beach recently named Siesta Key the best beach in America. It offers calm and clean waters. Visitors of all ages go to Siesta Key when the tide is low to find beautiful, large and, sometimes, rare seashells.
